Since 1997, children's morris dance teams from the Greater Boston area and elsewhere in New England have gathered for a day of performances, socializing and just plain fun. Historically, such gatherings of morris dance teams have been called "ales" -- however, since these particular teams feature dancers under 18 years old, organizers decided to use a name more appropriate to the age group: The Ginger Ale.
This site is intended mainly as an archive for recent and past Ginger Ales, but will also offer details on upcoming Ginger Ale-related doings. Please report any errors in the information provided or other problems with the site here.
The teams have danced in rain and sun, heat and cold, displaying their love of traditional English morris and sword dancing in venues such as Harvard Square, the banks of the Charles River, the Boston waterfront, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Concord, Mass.
